MDO32, MDO34 Installation and Safety Manual 9

Getting acquainted with your instrument

ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com

1. Acquisition and Cursors controls:

■

Run/Stop starts and stops waveform acquisition. The button color indicates the acquisition status (green = running and acquiring; red = stopped). When stopped, the oscilloscope shows waveforms from the last completed acquisition. The Run/Stop button on the screen also shows the acquisition status.

■

Cursors button turns cursors on or off. Use the Multipurpose knobs to move the cursors. Double-tap the cursor readouts or on a cursor bar (line) to open the configuration menu to set cursor types and functionality.

■

Fast Acq™ enables or disables the fast acquisition mode. FastAcq provides high-speed waveform capture that

reduces the dead time between waveform acquisitions, enabling the capture and display of transient events such as glitches and runt pulses. It is helpful in finding elusive signal anomalies. Fast acquisition mode can also display waveform phenomena at an intensity that reflects their rate of occurrence.

■

Single/Seq enables making a single waveform acquisition, or a specified number of acquisitions (as set in the Acquisition configuration menu). Pushing Single/Seq turns off Run/Stop mode and takes a single acquisition. The

button color indicates the acquisition status (quick green flash = single acquisition acquired; solid green = waiting for trigger event). Pushing Single/Seq again takes another single acquisition.

■

High Res mode calculates the average of all the samples for each acquisition interval. High Res provides a higherresolution, lower-bandwidth waveform.

■

Clear deletes the current acquisitions and measurement values from memory.

2. Multipurpose knobs:

■

Multipurpose knobs (A, B) Multipurpose knobs A and B move cursors and set parameter values in configuration menu input fields. Selecting a menu field that can use a Multipurpose knob assigns the indicated knob to change the value in that input field. The ring around each knob lights when you can use that knob to do an action.

Push a Multipurpose knob to enable the Fine mode for making smaller increment changes. Push the knob again to exit Fine mode.

NOTE. If you have a mouse attached, pressing the mouse wheel toggles between Coarse and Fine adjustments.

3. Trigger controls:

■

Force forces a trigger event at a random point in the waveform and captures the acquisition.

■

Level sets the amplitude level that the signal must pass through to be considered a valid transition. The color of the Level knob indicates the trigger source except for dual-level triggers. The Level knob is disabled when the trigger type

requires two level settings or other trigger qualifiers (set from the Trigger configuration menu). Push the knob to set the threshold level to 50% of the peak-to-peak amplitude range of the signal.

■

Slope sets the signal transition direction to detect for a trigger (low to high, high to low, or either direction). Push the button to cycle through the selections. The Slope button is disabled when the trigger type requires other slope qualifiers (set from the Trigger configuration menu).

■

Mode sets how the instrument behaves in the absence or presence of a trigger event:

■

Auto trigger mode enables the instrument to acquire and display a waveform whether or not a trigger event occurs. If a trigger event occurs, the instrument displays a stable waveform. If a trigger event does not occur, the instrument forces a trigger event and acquisition and displays an unstable waveform.

■

Normal trigger mode sets the instrument to acquire and display a waveform only when there is a valid trigger event. If no trigger occurs, the last waveform record acquired remains on the display. If no last waveform exists, no waveform is displayed.

4. Vertical controls:

■

Position moves the selected waveform up or down on the screen. The color of the Position knob indicates which waveform the knob is controlling. Push the knob to center the waveform handle on the display.

■

Scale sets the amplitude units per vertical graticule division of the selected waveform. The scale values are shown on the waveform badge. The color of the Scale knob indicates which waveform the knob is controlling.

■

Channel buttons turn on (display), select, or turn off a channel, as follows:

■

If the channel is not displayed, pushing a Channel button turns on that channel in the Waveform view.

■

If the channel is on the screen and is not selected, pushing that channel's button selects that channel.

■

If the channel is on the screen and is also selected, pushing that channel's button turns that channel off (removes it from Waveform view).

■

The Math button adds or selects a Math waveform on the Waveform view, as follows:

■

If no Math waveform exists, pushing the Math button adds a Math waveform to the Waveform view and opens the Math configuration menu.

■

If a Math waveform is displayed but not selected, pushing the button selects the Math waveform.

■

Download and install the latest firmware

Installing the latest firmware helps ensure that your instrument is equipped with all of the best available measurement and analysis improvements.

Prerequisite: Save any important on-instrument files (waveforms, screen captures, oscilloscope setups, and so on) to a USB drive or network. The installation process does not remove user-created files, but it is a good idea to back up important files before an update.

Update oscilloscope firmware from a USB drive

Prerequisite: Determine the current version of firmware installed on the oscilloscope (Help > About)

1. Open up a Web browser on a PC and go to www.tek.com/product-support.

2. Enter the oscilloscope model number in the search field and click Go.

3. Scroll down the screen and click the Software tab.

4. If the listed available firmware version is newer than what is on your oscilloscope, select and download that file to your PC.

5. Copy the firmware install file to a USB drive.

6. Insert the USB drive into any oscilloscope USB Host port:

7. Power off the oscilloscope and then power on the oscilloscope.

NOTE. Do not power off the oscilloscope or remove the USB flash drive until the oscilloscope finishes installing the firmware. The oscilloscope displays a message when it is OK to turn off the oscilloscope.

The oscilloscopes detects the USB drive with the firmware file and starts the installation process. Follow on-screen instructions to install the firmware.

8. When the firmware install is finished, remove the USB drive and restart the oscilloscope.

To confirm the firmware installation:

a. Tap Help > About in the Menu bar.

b. Verify that the firmware version number listed on the screen is the same version that you downloaded.

Run Signal Path Compensation (SPC)

Run SPC at regular intervals for best measurement accuracy. You should run SPC whenever the ambient (room) temperature has changed by more than 5 °C (9 °F) or once a week if you use vertical scale settings of 5 mV/div or less.

Signal Path Compensation (SPC) corrects for DC level inaccuracies in the internal signal path caused by temperature variations and/or long-term signal path drift. Failure to run SPC on a regular basis may result in the oscilloscope not meeting warranted performance levels at low volts per division settings.

Prerequisite: Disconnect all probes and cables from the front-panel channel inputs and rear-panel signal connectors.

1. Power on and warm up the oscilloscope for at least 20 minutes.

2. Tap Utility > Calibration.

3. Tap Run SPC. The SPC Status readout shows Running while SPC is running. SPC can take several minutes per channel

to run, so wait until the SPC Status message changes to Pass before reconnecting probes and using the oscilloscope.

32 MDO32, MDO34 Installation and Safety Manual

Configure the instrument

ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com

4. Close the Calibration configuration dialog when SPC has completed.

5. If SPC fails, write down any error message text. Make sure that all probes and cables are disconnected and run SPC again.

If SPC still fails, contact Tektronix Customer Support.

Compensate TPP0250, TPP0500B, or TPP1000 probes

Probe compensation adjusts the high frequency response of a probe for best waveform capture and measurement accuracy. The oscilloscope can automatically test and store compensation values for TPP0250, TPP0500B and TPP1000 probes.

The oscilloscope stores the compensation values for each probe/channel combination and automatically recalls the compensation values when you plug in the probe again. Probe compensation status is shown in the Probe Setup panel of the Channel configuration menu.

■

If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Pass, the probe is compensated and ready for use.

■

If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Default, the attached probe has not been compensated and needs to have this probe compensation procedure run.

■

If the Probe Compensation Status field displays Fail, the attached probe has failed the probe compensation procedure. Reconnect the probe and run probe compensation again.

■

If there is no probe compensation status field shown in the panel, the oscilloscope cannot store compensation values for that probe. See the oscilloscope Help for how to manually compensate passive probes not supported by the probe compensation function.

■

Each compensation generates values for a specific probe and channel combination. If you want to use the probe on another channel and desire to compensate the new probe-channel pair, you must run a new set of compensation steps.

■

Each channel can store compensation values for 10 individual probes. If you try to compensate an 11th probe on a channel, the oscilloscope will delete the values for the least recently used probe and add the values for the new probe.

Use this procedure to compensate a TPP0250, TPP0500B, TPP1000, or other supported TPP-family probe that shows a Default status when connected to the oscilloscope.

NOTE. A Default Setup does not delete probe compensation values. A factory calibration deletes all stored probe compensation values.

Prerequisite: The oscilloscope must be powered on for at least 20 minutes before compensating a probe.

1. Connect a supported probe to an input channel.

2. Connect the probe tip and ground lead of the probe to the PROBE COMP terminals on the lower right of the oscilloscope

(see following image).

Figure 4: Probe Comp connections.

Connect the probe tip to the 1 kHz source and the ground clip to the ground. For best results, remove any probe tip accessories and hold the probe tip directly onto the 1 kHz connector.

NOTE. Connect only one probe at a time to the PROBE COMP terminals.

3. Turn off all channels.

4. Turn on the channel to which the probe is connected.

5. Push the front-panel Autoset button. The screen displays a square wave.

6. Double-tap the badge of the channel that you want to compensate.

7. Tap the Probe Setup panel.

If the Probe Compensation Status says Pass, the probe is already compensated for this channel. You can move the probe to another channel and start again from step 1 or connect a different probe to this channel and start from step 1.

If the Probe Compensation Status says Default, continue with this procedure.

8. Tap Compensate Probe to open the Probe Compensation dialog.

9. Tap Compensate Probe to run the probe compensation.

10. The probe compensation is finished when the Probe Compensation Status displays Pass. Disconnect the probe tip and

ground from the PROBE COMP terminals.

11. Repeat these steps for each supported passive probe that you want to compensate for this channel.

12. Repeat these steps to compensate supported probes on other channels of the oscilloscope.

NOTE. For most accurate measurements, open the Probe Setup panel and verify the Probe Compensation Status is Pass whenever you attach a probe to a channel.

NOTE. A probe compensation failure is most likely due to intermittent connection of the probe tip or ground connection during the probe compensation operation. If a failure occurs, the oscilloscope will re-use the old probe compensation values if they existed prior to the failed probe compensation operation.

EN 61000-3-3. Voltage changes, fluctuations, and flicker

This product is intended for use in nonresidential areas only. Use in residential areas may cause electromagnetic interference.

Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when this equipment is connected to a test object.

Equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of applicable listed standards when test leads and/or test probes are connected due to coupling of electromagnetic interference onto those leads/probes. To minimize the influence of electromagnetic interference, minimize the loop area between the unshielded portions of signal and associated return leads, and keep leads as far away as possible from electromagnetic disturbance sources. Twisting unshielded test leads together is an effective way to reduce loop area. For probes, keep the ground return lead as short as possible and close to the probe body. Some probes have accessory probe tip adapters to accomplish this most effectively. In all cases, observe all safety instructions for the probes or leads used.

For compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded interface cables that incorporate low impedance connection between the cable shield and the connector shell should be used.
